Conroy is gone.

Probably a good move for the WR's and passing game but tough on other fronts. Conroy really cares about the kids and has worked tirelessly to help them fulfill their academic obligations and stay eligible and on track to graduate (which is why they are really here!!)

I wish him the best of luck and nothing but success in the future. I also want to thank him for his years of service to Tech.

I agree. I think the problems with our WR's is evidence enough of a needed change.

I wonder how this will effect recruiting?

I wonder if Dooley has replacement already in mind and I hope the new guy can recruit some more WR's with speed.

Hope he has success in his new endeavour

Thoughts on replacement??

I wonder if he had pressure to resign...

He's a Tech guy, so I wonder what endeavors he wanted to pursue. Very interesting. He did a lot of good things for our football program and student athletes.

I have some free time, so I will get the ball rolling. What about Mike Norvell. He is an assistant with Tulsa. He played college ball at Central Arkansas. This past year was his first as a full time assistant coach. I don't know if we would be necessarily be offering anything more appealing to him. Anyway...here is a link to his bio.

I also like this Jason Nichols guy. He was one of the WR coaches for Toledo, a team with two 1,000 yard receivers. He played at ECU. He is another WR coach from a Non-BCS school that may want to make this move.

Norvell was a walkon at Tech before he went to UCA.

I think DJ McCarthy's probably looking for a job.

Wow. I did not know that. That could be an interesting route...

I also like former Kansas WR coach David Beaty, who was not kept by new coach Turner Gill

Kansas had two receivers that could CATCH THE BALL really well last season. The difference between Beaty and the first two guys I posted....Beaty is currently unemployed. He went to high school in Garland, TX, and he coached WRs at Rice before joining Kansas.
